Question
Find the value of y
Advertisements
Solution
Cleary POQ is a straight line
Sum of all angles formed at a point on a straight line is 180°
∴ ∠POT + ∠TOS + ∠SOR + ∠ROQ = 180°
60° + (3y – 20°) + y° + (y + 10°) = 180°
60° + 3y – 20° + y° + y° + 10° = 180°
5y + 50° = 180°
5y + 50° – 50° = 180° – 50
5y = 130°
y = `(130^circ)/5`
y = 26°
